The latest Health and Safety best practice group will cover lone working. Protecting your employees goes beyond aggression towards staff – we must tackle lone working risks, manual handling for DLO trades, welfare access, driver safety, and navigating unpredictable home environments. It’s about creating a culture of care, responsibility, and practical support.

    The Health and Safety best practice group will cover the below points, facilitated by Health and Safety professional, Nichola Harrison.

    • Manual handling – for those with the DLO considerations particularly for trade such as plumbing and gas engineers who are working with bulky item such as boilers and baths
    • Welfare – how does the organisation ensure access to suitable facilities?
    • Driver safety – what responsibility does the organisation have to manage the driving hazard
    • Dealing with pets, children and other people’s belongings.

    Why you should come to the best practice group:

    • Great way to find out what others are doing
    • Good, honest and open discussions
    • Sharing best practice and ideas with others in similar roles
    • Acts as a sense-check about what people are doing or thinking of doing.

    If you’re new to the network or haven’t attended a best practice group before, this is what your housing colleagues are saying about them:

    “Every meeting that I’ve attended has given me a new idea to take away or helped me understand how I could improve my service”

    “The best practice groups have been really useful. They offer reassurance on our processes, new ideas and a chance to meet new and familiar colleagues working in housing”

    “A safety net to ensure nothing is forgotten or overlooked. So many things change in legislation or best practice it’s good to hear what others are doing to challenge your own thought process”.

    “The best practice groups are fantastic. I’ve been inspired by many of the shared ideas, information and knowledge that colleagues bring”

    Best practice groups are a great way of engaging with your network/hub members.

    We look forward to seeing you there!
